Description
Since 2007, the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) has dramatically increased the number of students succeeding in rigorous math, science, and English coursework – particularly those traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). But while NMSI has experienced great success with its existing programs, they recognize that there are opportunities to have both larger impact and greater reach. In addition, access to STEM education goes well beyond enrollment practices at schools. National data show that students of color, low-income students, and rural students fare worst of all in terms of access to STEM education. As a result, NMSI is at an inflection point. This project – a strategic planning process to help the organization develop plans for greater reach and impact – is designed to help them take NMSI’s programs to the next level. Through this project, NMSI will embark on a consulting partnership that combines design-centered conceptual thinking with a rigorous, practical planning process in order to make a bold, innovative and actionable plan. As a result of this effort, NMSI will develop a strategic plan and a three-year implementation plan as well as a budget model and fundraising plan.
